The US system of government is sometimes called the greatest experiment in political science, and just like all grand experiments a few tests blow up in our face; Trump is one such example.
i don't think it recovers. by the time they're done, the current administration will have locked in their back-to-the-1860s agenda for the next century, which means economic collapse and probably a civil war. the only way America retains clout under these conditions is by war, economic or military. and believe me, the rich will happily send millions of us to die so they can keep their expense accounts.
